Drive mode change

On a 2022 with drive mode select, can you keep it in sport + mode when you turn off the truck and restart? It always reverts to NORMAL mode

 

Very helpful

 

I have it in comfort mode and it always stays that way. I would assume it's same for spor, sport+

 

No, and in my experience no vehicle from any manufacturer stays in Sport mode when selected. It is probably due to a fuel economy or emissions.

 

I believe it’s also to prevent unwarranted stress on the engine and drivetrain before they reach operating temp. I know for certain WRX’s and Legacy 2.5 GT’s went so far as to not even allow you to activate Sport Sharp mode until it had warmed up.

 

Thanks. It seems to me that the starting mode should be up to the customer and not the manufacturer.

 

But customers are generally not that intelligent and Toyota has a warranty to honor. Makes perfect sense to default to a lower setting.
